Application filed March 6, 1914. Serial No. 823,037.

To all whom it may concern 7 Be itknown that I, PAUL Asz'ranos, asubject of the King of Hungary, residing at Bridgeport, in the county ofFairfield and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Toilet Appliances, of which the following is aspecification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to a toilet appliance, and has for its object toprovide an appliance of such class with means, in a manner ashereinafter set forth, to constitute a hinged compartment elementcapableof being positioned below a water supply faucet and to communicate withthe water discharge pipe when in use and further capable of being swungto inclose the faucet and be disconnected from the outlet when not inuse.

Further objects of the invention are to provide a toilet appliance whichis simple in its construction and arrangement, readily shifted tooperative position, conveniently moved to inoperative position anddetach ably maintained in such position, strong, durable, readily set upand inexpensive.

With the foregoing and. other objects in view, the invention consists ofthe novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts ashereinafter more specifically described and illustrated in. theaccompanying drawings, wherein is shown an embodiment of the invention,but it is to be understood that changes, variations and modificationscan be resorted to which come within. the scope of the claim hereuntoappended.

In the drawings wherein like reference characters denote correspondingparts throughout the several views -Figure l. is an elevation of atoilet appliance in accordance with this invention, showing theadaptation thereof in connection with a pair of water supply faucets anda water discharge pipe. Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectional view of theappliance and further showing in full lines the appliance in operativeposition and in dotted lines in inoperative position. Fig. 3 is a topplan view of the appliance, and Fig. 1- is a perspective view of themeans for detachably maintaining the appliance in inoperative posit-ion.

Referring to the drawings in detail, 5 denotes a support or wall havingconnected thereto a cold water supply faucet 6 and a hot water supplyfaucet 7. The faucets communicate with the source of water sup ply andarranged below said faucets and secured to the support 5 is a waterdischarge pipe 8, the latter is disposed at an inclination and projectsoutwardly from said support Secured to the support fiibetweeu thefaucets (3 and 7 and discharge pipe 8, through the medium of holdfastdevices 9 is a plate 10 provided with a pair of outwardly projectingapcrtured lugs 11 and further provided above said lugs with a springclip 12, the latter constituting a retaining means for a purpose to bepresently referred to.

The reference character 13 denotes a supporting band, which has arearwardly projecting and upwardly inclined stem 14, the latter beingpivotally connected as at 15 to the lugs 11. Supported by, extendingthrough and fixed to the band 13 is the body portion 16 of a compartmentelement. The said body portion 16 is in the form of a basin and has inits bottom an outlet nipple 18, to which is attached an outlet pipe 19,the latter being adapted to extend in the discharge pipe 8 when theelement is lowered to the position shown in Fig. 2. The pipe 19 isprovided with a peripheral flange 20 which abuts against the outer endof the pipe 8 to limit the downward movement of the body portion 16, andsaid flange 20 also constitutes a means, in connection wit-h the pipes 8and 19 for supporting the body portion 16 when the latter is lowered.Proj ecting from one side of the body portion 16, at the top thereof isan extension 21, provided with a pair of compartments 22 and 23, theformer being deeper than the latter is adapted to house a glass, whilethe latter can house a tooth brush or nail brush. Projecting from theother side of the body portion 16 is an extension 2-1 formed with acompartment 25 for the reception of a cake of soap.

When the device is not in use, the compartment element is swung upwardlyso as to inclose the faucets 6 and 7, the stem 14 being engaged by thespring clip 12 so that the elements will be detachably secured in theposition as illustrated in dotted lines in Fig. 2. The supporting band13 has pivot ally attached thereto a bail 26. The bail is utilized forlowering the compartment element to the position shown in Figs. 1 and 2.

That I claim is The combination with a water discharge pipe extendingupwardly at an inclination and a water supply faucet, of a plate fixedto a support and interposed between said faucet and pipe and providedWit-h ;apair of apertured lugs, a spring clip projecting from said plateabove said lugs, a supporting band provided with a stem pivotallyconnected to said lugs, a compartment element secured to the band andhaving one oi? its compartments provided with an outlet nipple, anoutlet pipe connected to said nipple :and adapted to extent in saiddischarge pipe, and a flange formed on said outlet pipe and engagingsaid discharge pipe for supportingsaid element in a horizontal position,said element capable of being swung upwardly whereby said stein will beengaged by the clip to maintain the element in such position.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in the presence of twowitnesses.
